Yeah, I was looking at the team and I noticed some players from those who played in Bucharest missing, what happened?

Namibia's pack probably won them the match.

LE: Try by Canada, they're back in the gameYellow for Canada following a high ball contest in the air and next phase a try by Namibia after repeated drives in opposition defense so 29 - 16 final result.

About Canada's game, I saw the same frantical throwing of the ball to the backs, without any concern to create rucks and generally a platform by forwards to stretch the defense and get the space to attack with three quarters. It is a dangerous approach to train players in such way, it was like they avoided any breakdown or ruck, I don't think this aseptic type of rugby can bring anything good.

Almost impossible to understand Uruguay kicking away possession. I suppose they were nervous.

Portugal played 20 minutes in the second half with 14 players and the Uruguayans had the "obligation" to win the game. Hearing the commentators(talking about this team as the favorites to the final win), I think they had too much pressure on them.

Portugal was lucky again, they got away with an away pass and Uruguay didn't helped themselves either; I do think many of those unprovoked mistakes were due to pressure of being the hosts of the tournament, I've seen it here too. About kicking away possession and such silly mistakes it is often encountered to this level.
